THE JOUt\AL., | JOIIX KEKSHAAY, Editor and Proprietor. CAMDEN S. C^JULY^7,1871 A FAITHLESS NTEtVAKD. II. Cardoza Given an Account of IliinNclf-OtlierH Uive Accounts of Him ?The Fortmi of JumIIco Converted into a Pandemonium. Oa-Thursday List, about 9 o'clock P. M., our reporter, having been inlbrmed that Henry Ciud.jza. Senator (s^called.) from this County, would make an attempt to explain his* actions to his constituents, uud that the meeting was public, wended his way to the C;Surt House, where the said meeting was to be hnlden, and upon arriving there, found about one hundred of the noble Senator's constituents, interspersed with some few .whites who had gone there from motives of ? it . curiosity and others who<were there tor tne. purpose- of dcfeuding themselves from the attacks of Cardoza. The meeting being called to order, (rrand Sachem James F. Sutherland in the Chair, Cardoza rose and proceeded to make his defence. He addressed the meeting as -friendsendeavored to explain why he had Hough removed, from the County Auditorship; said that many and v 'luble were the complaints against Hough, by reason of his incompetency, and that the annua! settlement between-the County Treasurer and Auditor was rapidly approaching; that he knew Hough)would never be able to make the se!tlenrent; that the State Aaidix HnmrKs that he had Wr WiU5 (tliut U1UI UM"UV y no opportunity of consutling his constituency and being compelled to act at once, he1 had recommeivdcd Mr. A. T. Latta for th^ position ; who was a man that had' nought to do with politics, and therefore Re'thowght would be acceptable to all parties; that besides, the County Auditorship was not a political and none of the rights of his constituents would be affected thereby, hence be had Mr. Latta appointed; that Captain Place made representations to the Governor which rather made that official believe that he (Cardoza) was endeavoring to black-mail Mr. Hough and Mr. Latta. Capt. Place got up and gave the statement an emphatic deneal. He said that who ever made a such a statement stated that which was false. The Post Office was then taken up. Cardoza said that Captain Place had sought the position of Postmaster. Captain Place denied the statement. Cardoza then said that one of his (Place's) friends had asked it for htm, and that he (Cardoza) drew up a petition and had the Captain appointed: Hereupon Captain P. explained how that Mr. ? ? ??*o??- tttcio uKIa fn inor any uvu^ uuo uiuii> mw uviv w get a United States appointment. Cardoza . then went on to tell how Captain Place had obtained the County Treasurcrship, and that he had promised to vacate the Postmaster, oaip if he was appointed Treasurer. He proceeded' to explain how it was-that he proposed to Captain Place to have his ap pointmcnt oonfirined by the Senate, if he would pay him one hundred* dollars, without which he could not be appointed. He got away off on old scores, and dragged -several persons in win had no idea that what they said would ever come out in this way. Captain Place denied positively that he had ever promised to pay Cardoza anything fi/r his appointment. Cardoza said he coufd explain how it was. Captain Placo denied that there was any explanation to be given. Denial followed denial, and then Cardoza took up the Camden Journal and read* his letter which we refused -to publish for reasons then given, and sufficient reasons too. After he had concluded his attack upon this ppper, we asked him if he-had! not told Hough, last summer, that if he would, electioneer for him, he would.use his influence: to get him an office. He admitted the fact. We then conceived that it was useless to go into further nroof. and simply contented I ourselves by saying to him, that Hough had told us- so last summer, during the campaign. Cardoza said that all Hough had don? was to try and make one speech for liim and lend' him his old horse once or twice, and thatat the precinct where Hough /o'Oncrly lived! anjEwas supposed to havo influence, the election had gone heavily against him'. Hough thereupon asked him whether or not tho men from his precinct had gono for him iu- the nominating Convention ? Cardoza admitted it. C. Shiver asked Hough if it was not most infernally condemned hard to get theu to go for Cardoza? Hough admitted the soft impeachment. Cardoza continued to speak against timd; the candles burued low in their socketa; tho Grand-Sachem looked dignifiedly sleepy, and still Cardoza maundered along. Captain Place arose and said that Cardoza had made some "slimy insinuations" against - - * ? ' v. -J kim, winch ne aesircct. co answer. iur. ouiver besought the audience to remain, as he would furnish lights to them. Cardoza still continued.. Some one brought a lamp, and then Cardoza saw that the game was up, and sat down to hear himself honied over j the coals. Capt. Place performed this feat J in. a iiiastcrly manner, and read to the audience a letter addressed to Mr. C. Shiver by Cardoza, wberein it was strongly insinuated that ah effort should be made to get Capt. Place out of the Treasurer's Office. This proved our second charge against Cardoza, that "be was scheming and plotting to have Capt. Place removed.^ The letter from CarcToza to Bim was next read by Capt. Place, offering to have his appointment oonfirmcd for one hundred dollars J cash down. Cardoza denied several things. Capt. Place proved some and dared him to .'disproveothcrs^of his ohargcq, Hough denied several'oFCardura's sUtemeht^ dnc of which was something: connected with a larceny or ^ome other mysterious disposition of a fi Vo dollar bill. By this time Cardoaa was dead beat, and contented himself by a sneering laugh. I Hough concluding,, the meeting adjourned. A leading colored Radical remarked that the Republicans who had black spots iu their hearts should take them out and proceed honestly, whereupon a gentleman present added, "Yes, and not stick people who are doing nothing wrong with their bayonets." Tims ended one of the most intercsting.and at the samo time curious meetings wo have ever attended. That Republics are ungrateful Card, za found out to his sorrow, for lie said that one year of political life had not increased his liking for it. Many new aud strange revelations were made, which would never otherwise have come out, and the way in which his former friends "went" for him, proved conclusively to Cardoza, that his occupation had gone, probably forever. Camden has never witnessed just such a trial, before such a Court. It is something new in the annals of jurisprudence," and deserves a full notice for its rarity. It would be a good thing if more faithless public servants were thus arraigned and tried. The ball is opened, why not keep it going. Cardoza did his utmost to stop it, but failed most ignominiousjy. ' The South Carolina Laud and Immigration Association. The tickets for the Gift Concerts under the auspices of the above named Association are being sold very rapidly, and there remains scarcely a doubt but that all of them will be sold prior to October 1st. Persons desirous of purchasing will do well to apply at onco to the agent for this county. By the formation of cluDs tno expense oi purcuas. iug tickets may .be very materially reduced. Thus: Say fifty mon form a club, and each member pays 82 50. This will give the club twenty-five tickets. The agreement between the member? of course is that whatever be drawn must be equally divided between all. Cannot a club bo gotten up hero ? Deaths from Intemperance. The Statistics of the General. Life Insurance Company of London, it isannounced, prove that if one hundred thousand intemperate persons from fifteen to seventy years (of age be compared with one hundred thousand persons of regular habits, thirty-two of the former class willidlo as frequently as ten of the latter class. Out of one huhdred thousand of each class 16,907. of the intemperate will be deadi before the- age- of forty, and only 4,266 of the temperate. The proportions of the deaths of intemporate to temperate persons, it is calculated, is, therefore, thirty-two to ten. Gen. 0. 0. Howard, of the Frcedmen's Bureau, is arranging matters for another ring, out of which to line the- pockets of himself and friends from the funds of the Freedinen's Burean, which ought to be a defunct concern, if the laws of Congress had any force or effoct. His last move was to induce Gen. Eaton, a member of the Territorial Council, who is also in the Freed men's Bureau ring, to introduce a bill in the Council authorising Governor Cooke to make a contract with Howard for the support and care of indigent persons in the Frcedmen's Hospital. This would give the Bureau ring the handling of a good deal of money, and put them on the track to grasp and control any appropriation Congress may be induced to mako for the poor. These Freedmen's Bureau men are very disinterested in any labor that has money in it. MKC.C.

We mentioned in our columns, yesterday, the presence in Boston of a most remarkable child, the offspring of Joseph and Aun. E. Finley. It presented the romarkable arfwell unprecedented phenomenon of two heads, four arms, and two legs, and all upon a single body. The girl?for such waa its sex?died last evening at No. 6 Bowdoin street.. The first half or head breathed its last at 5, and the second shortly after 8 o'clock. * Themany thousands in the Western or Middle States who have seen this marvellous eccentricity of nature will learn its early death wifch regret., The child?or children as it would almost seem proper to allude to the phenomenon?had enjoyed excellent health from her birth, nine months ago, until within two weeks, at which time one exhibited signs or illness. This, however, was but temporary. It recovered and was "bright and playful; Since reaching Boston", a few days since, the other? or theotl er half?was taken sick and die.d - yesterday afternoon, as already stated. The two portions of the body were so intimately connected that the death of one.! rendered that of the other inevitable. The snectaclo was equally novel, strange, and unparalleled. Upon one end of the body reposed the head of the dead intent; upon the other that of the live one with its eyes still , bright and curious, and its lungs in full breathing order. All that medical aid could' accomplish waB done, but it was found unavailing. Tho child died in the presence of its parents. The corpse p:e-ents the appear* ance of two infants asleep. Apparently they escaped the ord'nary suffering incident to. death, for the countenance had the expression of repose. The disposition of the body ia not determined upon. Several of our physicians were desirous, last evening, of having' it opened for examination. It is doubtful if the parents consent. They reside in Monroe County, Ohio, and live upon a farm. They have other children, but none have exhibited any unusual developments. Nor can this extraordinary departure from the laws of nature be accounted for. In Philadelphia, where all the medical Solons undertook to solve the problem, nothing whatever was brought to light. The child was looked upon with amazement and interest, but all attempts to account for its existence were futile. It is regarded as more of a curiosity than ti*{ Siamese twins. The parents were especially devoted to the little marvel, and their sorrow is grievous.?Boston Post July 19.

They reached Assonan, Nubia, op the 21st of May. There they tarried, and on the 23d Miss Risley writes: ' This morning wo got up at 3 o'clock and rode five miles on donkeys- to' Philat to see the ruin of ? <beautiful temple, which is modern in comparison with others we have seen, but,one of the finest ruins in Egypt seen at a distance.

He was more lively than usual, bus soon became so stupid and walked so unsteadily that we were afraid ho had been poisoned, but on enquiry learned that be had stolen a bottle of Chateau yokem, taken out the Cork and drank half the contents of the bottle. No wonder he was tipsy. I have said'nothing about the heat, which has been intent, the thonnoineter having been 120 and 130 degrees.

The scenery e? the Nile is not in the least pretty. It 16 nothing but desert, with .now and then a cultivated spot, or an occasional clump of date palms, and from five to ten miles back low sand-stone hills, without a particle of green ; and it is the same from Cairo to this place. It is low water now, but I don't imagine the scenery is any pret| tier in the winter; still it has been glorious, and I have enjoyed it beyond expres | aion. We are now on our way oacx, ana expect to reach Cairo in a few days.

On lost Saturday morning, there occurred, near Maysville, one of the most dastardly, diabolical and heinous- crimes ever perpetrated in the State, the circumstances of. which are as follows: . . - . -1 "A* About seven miles North of here lives the family of Judge T. B. Tifcconiff, who was one of our oldest and most valued citizens, and. which was, at the time of the tragedy, Composed of the old gentleman, wife, two unmarried daughters and a son, named Edward, aged about thirty-sevcu years. Ed ward- Titcomb has been married, but obtained a divorce from his wife several years ago, since which time he has resided with- his father. For the past two years he has manifested a quarrelsome and disagreeable disposition toward his family, using abusive and threaten' ing language on the slightest provocation. He his also, at different times, threatened to kill a brcther-in-law for a fancied wrong done him. Theso quarrels, always commenced by Viunfifilf. never terminated in anvthintr fur tlier than more bandying of wordis, until last Saturday morning, when he had a difficulty with hid father about hauling some hay. The old gentleman perceiving that his son -was bent on getting up a quarrel, sought to pacify hhn by telling him to do as he pleased. Ed. ationce flew'into a dreadful passion, and knocked bis fa her dowr. The daughters interfered in behalf of their old , gray-headed futle:, when the unnatural and fiendish son and brother struck the youngest a blow which dislocated her shoulder, and choked the ether so that the impress of his fingers on her throat was visible several hours afterward. The father, after his son was pulled off of him by the girls, mounted his horse I and rode over to the house tf Mr. Stephen ! Merritt, a neighbor of his, to wait until his son's passion had cooled down. The father's escape only seemed to increase the furious anger of El., and seizing an axe he rushed toward his mother, and threatened to brain her if sho did not instantly restore his revolver, which sho had taken the precaution to hide at the commencement of the difficulty; and th'eu forced to comply or suffer death, she gave it to him, after exacting a promise that he would not harm his father/ Getting possession of the revolver, Ed. immediately rode after his father, and found him in Mr. Merritt's yard. The ungrateful gon shot three times at his father; one shot struck the old gentleman's left arm, and the shot which i i? .-i ai.2 i proved iauu Biruch. uie luwet no vi i/iio iciv side, glanced down, struck the left hip bone, and thence back through the centre of the left kidney, passed in front of the spine and lodged in the right hip, as disclosed at the post mcrtem examination held oh Tuesday morning by Pre. Downing and Dent. Immediately aftor shooting his father,Ed. came to Maysville to consulta lawyer and was thefirst person to bring the news of the terrible affair. His counsel advised him to surrender to 1 the sheriff, which he did. On Saturday evening j he waived a preliminary examination, and was that night taken to the St. Joseph jail to await the action of the grand jury at the September term of the Circuit Court. During Saturday, while he was in charge of the sheriff, he tried to make it appoar that ho was insane, and refused-to recognise some of his intimate acquaintances, but the sham was Joo apparent to deceive anyone. On his way to the St. Joseph jail, in charge of Deputy Sheriff James Attcrbnry and Constable Bacon, he showed no indication of insanity, and convorscd freely with those gehtlomen, tolling with eonsiderrblo zest of a number of "scrapes," not of a very moral character,, in which he figured as the principal actor. He lias never, to the knowledge of his family or intimate friends, shown any indications of insanity, and on the morning after he had shot his father, when a citizen remarked that he certainly was crazy, replied that he never was more sane in his lifo. \ , The feeling of the citizons in tho immedi ate vicinity of the horrible tragedy was very strong against the parricide, and-there may have been talk of visiting summary punishment upon the wretch, but calmer judgment prevailed, and no attempts were made to rescue the prisoner from the sheriff, as reJjortcd by tho St. Joseph daily papers. \Yc earn from tho Herald that sin'co tho parricide's confinement in Jail he has not exhibited the least qualm of conscience for the heinous crime committed by him on Saturday last, and while the father was lying at the point of death, shot by his own son's hand, that son was playing the fiddle for the amusement of his-fellow-prisoners! Judge Titcomb died Monday night, at 9. o'clock, and was buried yesterday in the Maysville. cemetery. His remains were followed to the gravfe-by the bereaved family, nn/J a lnvr#n nnnnAiiven rvf' frionrla anf] flp. ?I'U <9 IQI^O WUWU1DV Vt tniwi. WW quaintan.cos Judge Titcomb served four years, as County Justice of this county, and, during his term of office, all of his official transactions were marked with that honesty and uprightness of character which belong to the good and faithful officer that he was. He was well known throughout our connty, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. His many friends will deeply regret his lamentable and untimely death. MayxvUle (Mo.) Register, July 8. Idle Girls.?It is a painful spectacle, in families where the mother is tho drudge, to see the daughters elegantly dressed, reclining at their ease, with their drawing, their music, their fancy work, and their reading, beguiling themselves of the lapse of hours, days and weeks, and never dreaming of their responsibilitic8> but, as a necessary conseSionce of negloct of duty, growing weary of eir useless lives, laying hold of every newly invented stimulant to rouse their /Irnnninrr and blaming their fate n?J o .when they dare not blame their God for having placed them where they are./. These individuals will often tell you, with an air. of affected compassion, for who can believe it read, that paw, dear mamma is' working herself to death; yet no sooner do you propose that they should assist her than they declare she is quite in her element; in short, that she would never be happy if she .had only half as much to do. . < .
